40 times less? Who writes this crap? Forty times $120 million is $4.8 billion. $120 million less $4.8 billion is a negative $4.68 billion. 1/40th the cost maybe. But not forty times less.
Thank you.
n times less meaning 1/n as much went from advertising claim jargon (ad claims are not subject to literal interpretation in court, that’s why they use them.) to political statements. I kind of prefer that idiots do use them because they unmistakably signal their unnumerate idiocy and intention not to be held to what they say.
I think you misunderstood the article. The Coppola film cost $120 million. Walsh’s “Am I Racist” was made for 40 times less, which means it cost around $3 million or a little more to make.
According to the article, Am I a Racist cost $3 million to make. Megalopolis cost $120 million.
$3 million * 40 = $120 million.
$120 million / 40 = $3 million.
Seems like the math is okay to me.
